Cauliflower Cheese

Too much yum! - by Barbara Northwood

Cauliflower Cheese
Prep: 5 Minutes - Cook: 25 Minutes - easy - Serves 6
Proudly supported by

Cauliflower cheese is a staple of the roast dinner and this recipe presents this dish in its most classic form.

Ingredients

100g/4oz mature cheddar, grated

50g/2oz fresh white breadcrumbs

handful flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

1 large cauliflower, cut into florets

1 litre/13/4 pints full-fat milk plus a splash

1 small onion, halved

85g/3oz butter

85g/3oz plain flour

Method

  1. In a small bowl, mix the cheese with the breadcrumbs and parsley, and set aside. Put the cauliflower florets in a large saucepan, cover with water and a splash of milk (this stops the cauliflower smelling) and bring to the boil. Cook for 2-3 mins until tender, then drain.

  2. In a separate saucepan, pour in the milk, add the onion and some seasoning, bring to the boil, then take off the heat. In a small saucepan, make a roux by melting the butter slowly, then adding the flour, stirring to make a paste. While still over a low heat, add the boiled milk, discarding the onion. Using a whisk, beat the milk together with the roux and bring to the boil. Cook for 2 mins until the sauce is lovely and thick – make sure the heat is not too high, otherwise it will catch on the bottom and burn.

  3. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a casserole dish, pour over the sauce and top with the cheese and breadcrumb mix. Bake in the oven for 20 mins until golden and bubbling.
